twice when we were kids my folks loaded up the Dodge Ram Van and we did three weeks of driving across the western half of the US, basically california to missouri and back (my dad's mom lived in missouri). We mostly stayed at KOA campgrounds, and there were four kids in that van (first trip the youngest was still nursing).

My stepmom, who was an English teacher, put together these big tubs full of activities for us kids to do. Individual activities like coloring books and stuff, but also games and things. Of course this was in the 1980s, the only electronic toys we had were like my travel chess game and an electronic "football" game like this one:

which I'd get bored with after maybe an hour, max. We had some stories on cassette, the van only had a radio so we'd play them on a big handheld tape recorder. We'd play the license plate state game, 20 questions, poo poo like that.
I had this handheld football game.

I live in NC and all of my extended family lived like 12 hours away so I spent a lot of time in the back of the minivan.

One time me and my cousin, when we were around 10, tried to plug one into the wall socket. Had a spliced cord that we hooked to the springs in the battery compartment….big ole poof and blind for about a minute, melted the poo poo out of the thing. Good times.

I never played 1 or 2 either but 3 has just enthralled me. I think being able to use a controller really helps with that.

Do you know how bad you have to gently caress up to go to actual jail as a rich guy?

SBF got his bail revoked for a whole bunch of reasons (giant thread)

Judge Kaplan: This defendant tries to go right up to the line - his use of the VPN to watch a football game over an account he wasn't authorized, there it is..

He subscribed from the Bahamas and used a VPN as if he were in the Bahamas when he was in Palo Alto and could have watched it on public TV. It shows the mindset. All things considered I am going to revoke bail.

SBF earned every minute in jail he gers. That said, are Judges on the US the absolute worst. Using a :filez: like work around to avoid paying the NFL hundreds of bucks for a poo poo product somehow indicates a moral corruption? Holy poo poo. Not like he was hurting for other examples.

I just realized I went through an entire (ongoing) pandemic without ever using doordash. Or Grubhub, or whatever.

Curbside pickup for takeout and groceries and being able to cook enough to feed myself when I wasn't too lazy did the job. It isn't like I wasn't paranoid enough for sure early on, I just figured I could do that if I needed to.

All those delivery services now do like 2 deliveries on the way and my food ends up cold as poo poo by the time it arrives so I stopped. Except one local pizza place that gets it here hot, but even then I'd rather make my own.

Also thank you for the kind words about being alcohol free.

I definitely appreciate being reminded that having a drink is never a requirement. I'm running a half marathon tomorrow morning, and afterwards I'll have my first beer in two weeks. Helped my training, lost a few pounds, and now I'm looking forward to chilling in my backyard with the grill going and the cold ones in hand.

I'm not really anti drinking still. I got gifted a nice bottle of buffalo trace that I'll crack open on grand final day with my friends but I was getting to that stage where I was having a 6 pack cause it was friday and then your saturday is a bit of a 50% kinda day, then it's saturday afternoon and there's nothing to do so I'll drink 12 beers and play video games.

Which isn't the healthiest for my wallet or anxiety or anything so I thought I might try and break those habits. I'll still have a couple social ones when the situation calls for it, but it's winter, everyone has gently caress all free cash because of the economy being poo poo and it was part of the 75 day challenge so it was easier to just keep going. Hopefully I can eventually get to a place where I can just have a couple and not have it unlock that part of me that goes "WOOOOO lets get hosed up" and if not I'll probably give it away altogether. I have really enjoyed the clarity and extra time it's given me, not waking up groggy after poo poo sleep, late and dragging my rear end through chores or family events etc has been nice.

Good poo poo on the half marathon. I've always admired people that do long distance poo poo like that because I've never had the ability. I used to like to do things like spar 5 rounds, or play a game of soccer and I enjoy a long walk or a hike or rock climbing but distance running. fuuuuuuuuuck you.
